I love this <i> "Not in a selfish way, but the very act of genuine kindness has to benefit ourselves first, before it can actually benefit anyone else."</i><br /><br />What a great way to look at it ;o) I really try to be kind every day too. For me? It starts with empathy. <br /><br />Loved this!erica m. chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773306703153110737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434343586270371349.post-37812987182001474422012-08-08T18:20:10.134-07:002012-08-08T18:20:10.134-07:00This is a great post!
